If you could read my mind, loveWhat a tale my thoughts could tellJust like an old-time movie'Bout a ghost from a wishin' wellIn a castle dark or a fortress strongWith chains upon my feetBut stories always endAnd if you read between the linesYou'll know that I'm just tryin' to understandThe feelings that you lackI never thought I could feel this wayAnd I've got to say that I just don't get itI don't know where we went wrongBut the feeling's gone and I just can't get it backGordon Lightfoot: from If You Could Read My Mind (1970)
